5493 Comforting words from the father.... Reference to death....

September 24, 1952: Book 60

It is an undeserved favour that you humans can take refuge in My arms when you are in need. You always know that I have an open ear for your requests and concerns, but you also know that I wait for your call, that I want to hear the voice of My child which resounds to Me in every mental plea.... I want you to come to Me in every earthly and spiritual adversity so that you will also experience My help. I stand by your side in small as well as in great adversities, but do you also know what I have in mind for you? Do you know whether the help you desire is suitable for the maturing of your soul? Precisely because you do not know this you should pray: 'Father, Thy will be done....' You should certainly ask that I help you, but not in what way, for I truly know best what serves your soul. You children possess My love after all, you all shall reach the goal on earth to find unity with Me.... Everything that serves this purpose I will give to you because I want you to become blessed. You should indeed present all your small and great worries and needs to Me, you should come to Me with all your requests, and if you have profound faith and express this faith in prayer I will also grant your requests, for profound faith is already an elevated degree of maturity and the union with Me will then have already taken place through love, which first gave birth to living faith. So then you shall experience My often marvellous help. But as long as the living faith is not yet present, as long as you are still weak in faith and therefore also weak with love, I often have to deny you what you ask for, yet always only out of fatherly care for the maturity of your soul.... Yet you should always trust in Me that I will arrange everything for you as is good.... But do not value bodily life as the highest good but only regard it as necessary for the soul, and if you thus remember the soul and its state after death and take care of and create for its life, death need not frighten you either, for then it will only be the gate into the most luminous eternity for you, yet you will never long for earth again, only then will you live and be unspeakably happy in My presence....

Amen
